Biography
I have over 20 years' experience in leading and managing strategic IT projects, digital learning, and research computing within the university sector.
I joined Cardiff University in 2016 as Programme Manager for Supercomputing Wales – a £16 million investment programme, part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government – to give university research teams access to powerful computing facilities. I previously led the development of a portfolio of national Welsh-medium digital learning services at the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol – including Wales' first national virtual learning environment, 'Y Porth'.
I joined Learning and Teaching Academy in 2020, and as a member of the Digital Education team, led two University-wide projects within the Education and Student Experience portfolio (2021-24) – as Business Lead for the Digital Learning Environment project, for which the Digital Education team was awarded a Cardiff University Celebrating Excellence Award in 2024 in the Excellence in Service Delivery category; and as one of the Business Leads for the Flexible Learning project that considered the University’s strategic approach to flexible learning.
